I'm pretty sure that someone (either you or ilor) asked months ago on IRC what the behavior should be, and I gave my opinion — which hasn't changed since then: the current behavior is dumb and awkward because it forces the user to perform an extra click instead of being able to quickly and easily scroll the widget like it's done in Qt4 and Gtk2. The current behavior is similar to the one used by Windows — one of the reasons I can't stand using it for a single minute nowadays. Note that Qt4 and Gtk2 seem to implement (my) the desired behavior in different ways: while using the scrollwheel on an unfocused Qt4 scrollview changes the focus to the widget and triggers the scrolling action, on Gtk2 the scrolling occurs without the focus change, as far as I can tell here (Qt4 4.5.3 and Gtk2 2.18.9 on Debian squeeze). -- Regards Ignacio R.
